Bug in fop: Arabic is diplayed in isolated forms
When fop renders Arabic, it uses isolated Arabic forms instead of converting
them to the proper presentation forms (initial, medial, final). In contrast,
xmlroff using the Cairo rendering engine renders these forms correctly.
Here is a small xml-fo file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"><fo:layout-master-set><fo:simple-page-master page-height="11in" page-width="8.5in" margin-bottom="1in" margin-top="1in" margin-right="1in" margin-left="1.5in" master-name="SudaPage"><fo:region-body margin-bottom="0in" margin-top="0in" margin-right="0in" margin-left="0in"/><fo:region-before extent="0.0in"/><fo:region-after extent="0.0in"/><fo:region-start extent="0in"/><fo:region-end extent="0in"/></fo:simple-page-master></fo:layout-master-set><fo:page-sequence master-reference="SudaPage"><fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-footnote-separator"><fo:block><fo:leader rule-thickness="0.5pt" rule-style="solid" leader-length="20%" leader-pattern="rule"/></fo:block></fo:static-content>
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block font-family="FreeSerif" margin-top=".2in" margin-left=".5in">
[1] Some Arabic: مسر now some Hebrew: שמו [2] that's all
</fo:block>
</fo:flow></fo:page-sequence></fo:root>
I attach the PDF that fop creates. It has poorly rendered Arabic. It also has
a bidi problem, but that is not the point here.

I don't see any problem (attached). What version of FOP are you using? What
font type (ttf/otf) and version are you using?
